Something I haven’t shared with you before is how much I like to shop. Or technically how much I used to love to shop. Before I became a mother, shopping was something I did a lot of on a regular basis. I am a gifted shopper. Or shall I say I was a gifted shopper. I could find just about anything for prices you wouldn’t believe, but there was a hidden cost and I paid for it with time. In order to find great deals, I had to spend a great amount of time looking. Most of my shopping did not involve actual buying, it involved looking because great deals do not lay around waiting to be found. Nowadays, I don’t have the time, I’m tired, I’m busy, and I’d rather do something else.
Imagine how excited I was to be contacted by CSN Stores and asked to do a review of one of the many products they carry. It’s like shopping without having to leave the house! I wasn’t familiar with CSN stores and I was surprised to find out that they consist of over 200 stores. That’s a lot of products. I enjoyed looking over their kids beds because Put Pie is getting too big for her crib. I really like the one pictured below because storage space is at a premium in San Francisco. The best part is that shipping is free on this bed! I hate trying to buy things online only to find out I can’t afford the shipping.
Guess, what I decided to review? Something totally practical that will help us save money.
Yup, Kinetic Go Green Storage containers! We need to save money and one of the ways we do this is by packing my husband’s lunches for work, but he hates using plastic containers because they leach chemicals and we don’t have any good glass containers. Can’t wait to get them! I’ll let you know what we think.

Welcome to another edition of I Comment Therefore I Am, where I put together a post from comments I’ve left on other blogs. Below are a couple of my favorite posts from the previous week and what they inspired me to say.
Organic Motherhood with Cool Whip had a questionnaire to help you determine whether you need a biohazard suit. Since I always have snot or poop or pee on me (don’t judge), I responded:
I just consider all of my clothes biohazard suits. At least it makes me feel like I’m wearing a suit to work.
38 and Growing got me to thinking about the choices we make and the choices we don’t make…
I just read a book that is very much like Sliding Doors. It wasn’t very good, but I like the concept. The thing is that we make these choices and sometimes one choice is not inherently any better than any of the other choices available. Maybe our reality would be different, but not necessarily better. Anyway, if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle.
That’s it for this brief edition of I Comment Therefore I Am.
